Former India coach Ravi Shastri believes Rohit Sharma’s return to form will bode well for Mumbai Indians’ five-time champions in the ongoing Indian Premier League. On Tuesday night, MI beat the Delhi Capitals by six wickets to record their first win in three games. DC scored 172 which MI chased on the last ball and skipper Rohit played the captain’s knock 65, his first fifty after 24 innings.
“Rohit Sharma withstood the pressure against Delhi brilliantly. He led the team forward and this winning performance will greatly benefit him, as well as the Mumbai Indians,” Shastri told Star Sports.
“This win will give MI more confidence in the upcoming tournament.” Meanwhile, the legendary Sunil Gavaskar wants Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to go higher to give himself more time.
After a stylish victory in the last away game at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, CSK will host the Rajasthan Royals at home in a tight match on Wednesday. This will be Dhoni’s 200th match as CSK skipper.
“I hope MS Dhoni moves up the rankings. So he can play more than two or three overs in games. Gavaskar said.
